looking to control bamboo height

I am looking to curtail the height of my d. bissetti and spectabilis. I have been told to stop feeding them fertilizer. Makes sense..... but i was wondering that if I cut out the nitrogen, and just feed them Silica and potassium, would that still be ok. I hate not giving them supplements, but due to my property size, and distance from my house, a good rainstorm would potentially place the leaning boo's on my roof if they were grown to their fullest potential in the future. As of now they are 10 footers and only in thier 2nd season.
*****Also.....I was told that if I top them off at a desired height, that the culm itself would die. How true is this??
***Note: I am currently building a stringer system across the property line to keep them from weeping over too much.
Any thoughts/imput would be greatly appreciated.
